Lamentations 4:8-11 Darker than a coal, is their visage, They are not known in the streets––Their skin shrivelleth on their bones, is withered, become like a stick.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Darker than a coal, is their visage, They are not known in the streets––Their skin shrivelleth on their bones, is withered, become like a stick. ⁹ Better are the slain of the sword, than the slain of the famine,––for, these, pine away, stricken through, wanting the produce of the field. ¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women, have cooked their own children,––they have served as nourishment to them, in the grievous injury of the daughter of my people. ¹¹ Yahweh hath completed his indignation, hath poured out the glow of his anger; and hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured her foundations.
